Outside of previews through the site editor, my page does not load. I've tried through more than one browser and at different times. It always says the page is taking too long to respond, even though it is a simple site. Also, I cannot figure out how to make the contact form send me an e-mail and every explanatory article I have found is too confusing to decipher.
Bluehost hosting is being blacklisted all the time as a non trusted source. I can not send e-mails from my address
Stop trying to sell me stuff and changing the look!
Would prefer to keep the startup discount if renewing for a further 3 years.
Poor customer service, they take a long time to respond
I'm leaving. Hostin experience was subpar. Maybe biggest downside was dashboard loading times, but other small UI frustrations that added up.
The new dashboard is difficult to use and the technical support is not very helpful.
It has been very difficult logging in and getting my emails to work. And, takes a long time to get a hold of any help. I am still trying to get help to address email issues.
Impossible to save password when connecting since the login UX has changed... why is it so complicated to login and edit website? It seems that the more time goes by, the more complicated it gets
Your customer service is terrible - beyond terrible. I have tried and tried to get help. I either never get a reply or am on hold for up to 40 minutes or get someone who clearly has a language barrier or get disconnected after over an hour with no one reaching back out to me to continue. I have lost hundreds of hours of work.
Issues logging in to my account and support wait times are in excess of 30 minutes no matter what day or time you try. Support person (Mark) knew my call was dropped several times resulting in a complete start over. He promised to call me back and never did!
Customer care representatives are not well trained to do their jobs.
Customer service is great and immediate. For the most part, the experience is great, however, I have had issues in the past with logging in, or even being able to do anything. I also don't like how extra things I need to pay for that once were included.
Very happy with the site and in particular the patient, friendly and knowledgeable staff that is always there to help me navigate my site.
Your website is very difficult to navigate, and seems it is all about getting money from me.
We have had a problem with SSL on our site for over a month. Multiple attempts/chats/help and it is still not fixed. Unfortunate
I have a recurring problem with emails being rejected. It happens every 2-4 weeks and has been going on for months. Everytime I contact support they tell me it's fixed this time... many hours wasted on this.
Pretty satisfied for the most part, though there are far too many hoops to jump through in order to get to my work.
And it sucks if you're made to work just to get to the work you're already having to do.
My site has not worked for the last 12 hours and I have been on chat with four different people and none of them helped.
There are way way too many steps to get into my email.
Answer: NO - please do not go with Bluehost, it will save you a lot of hassle. They have the worst customer service and take your accounts offline just so you upgrade for more money even though the thresholds were not met. This means they are just running a scam by taking your websites offline and then offering the solution to get them back online by paying more money to them. My websites were down for 6 days and I've lost hundreds of dollars in income, have to pay my developers for all the work they did and NONE of it will be refunded by Bluehost. I migrated everything away from them and they do not even want to refund my sign-up costs. It is a total scam run but incapable and money-grabbing people whereas the CEO of Endurance group Jeff Fox made $10.000.000 in 2019 alone and the CEO of Bluehost Suhaib Zaheer $2.300.000. Be aware you do not get scammed by them, I've warned you. They are an evil company run by people with zero morals. I am going to report their theft to the FTC, BBB, and law enforcement. I will not go down without a fight and they will regret stealing from me and other affiliates as their reputation sinks in the toilet.
